BLACK WOMAN CEO OF ONLINE K-12 VIRTUAL SCHOOL HELPING OTHER EDUCATORS START THEIR OWN ONLINE SCHOOLS

Dana Delane-Williams, founder and CEO of American High School, is committed to assisting other Black educators in establishing their own online/virtual schools. She recently made history as the first Black woman in the country to create an online virtual school for grades K-12. She holds a bachelor’s degree in Computer Information Systems from Georgia State University and a master’s degree in Business Administration in Aviation from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University.

American High School (AHS) is an online distance learning school known for its affordability and accredited college-preparatory education for Grades K-12. AHS offers over 350 online courses including general, honors/AP, gifted, and career & technical (CTE). The CTE courses lead to industry certifications. AHS is an approved NCAA provider for students seeking to play sports in college on scholarships.

“In 2018, we launched the adult high school diploma program for students over the age of 20,” says Dana who has revolutionized online education in the US since 2002. “The global health scare has changed life across many spheres and has affected education processes too. We want to help black educators planning to open schools within their communities by providing them the support they need to achieve their goals.”

Ultimately, Dana wants to empower blacks and other minorities to achieve success in the educational sector as well as to empower today’s youth by providing them with high-quality online education and industry certifications. “Our black and minority kids value learning and education and with online education becoming more acceptable, we can bring technology and 21st-century leaning skills to those who may not have had access in the past.

Legendary Hip Hop Icon Speech Reacts to Capital Insurrection in His New Single "A Different World"

“This song had to be made to become proactive in shaping our collective future, because the rebellion that happened on January 6, 2021 in Washington D.C. was the curtain being pulled back on race, lies and darkness in America,” Speech explains. “It’s obvious that about half of America is living in a fictitious bubble and are responding accordingly. That’s why I wanted to share facts about the lawlessness and hypocrisy that was occurring. We may be at the start of another Civil war and a lot of bloodshed.”

Atlanta, GA -- Like millions of other Americans, Grammy Award-winning artist Speech of the legendary Afro-centric Hip Hop group Arrested Development watched in horror as a swath of die-hard Trump loyalists stormed the U.S. Capitol building in Washington D.C. As the dedicated MC he is, Speech put the pen to paper and spit out the single “A Different World,” an anthemic call-to-action that both preserves his artistic integrity and passion for socio-political issues.

6 Year-old Esi Orijin Starts Line of Black and Brown Dolls To Raise Self Esteem

Rooted in her African culture, prior to starting school, 6-year old Esi Orijin loved everything about herself. To her, being Black was “normal” and feeling included was a way of life. However, Esi struggled with confidence issues within three weeks of starting private school and being the only black girl in her class.

Her mother, Melissa Orijin, was devasted and needed to find a solution after witnessing Esi’s preference for toys change and her self-love take a dip. Esi no longer loved her skin tone or her curly hair.

She wanted only white dolls with straight blonde hair. After struggling to find dolls that truly represented her daughter to show her that she was in fact included, Melissa, together with her daughter, Esi, decided to start Orijin Bees.

COUPLE LAUNCHES BLACK-OWNED 3D ANIMATION AGENCY TO FILL A MULTI-CULTURAL VOID IN THE CONTENT CREATOR WORLD

Meet Brian & Darnitra Jackson, a Black husband and wife team with over 20 years of combined experience in graphic design, marketing, photography, and 3D animation. Their company, Unimation Media, promised to shake things up and 6 months later, the receipts are in.

Previously, with even a passing glance, a person would notice these types of media graphics and ended up being disappointed because there was not a diverse choice of multi-cultural assets. Brian, who is the lead 3D animator at the firm, comments, "Things were always going to change when we launched the Scroll Stopping Dance Pack."

He continues, "Where you will likely always see our competitors doing the same old thing, we wanted to make a point to provide various multi-cultural media that will wow audiences and fill the void with no sacrifice in quality. We do this because we believe these realistic 3D animated assets will help various businesses make more money and engage new customers.

Diverse assets like these didn't exist until innovation drove progress into gear and our ideas became reality for various businesses and marketers, using these assets in their digital projects. Ultimately we knew it was going to be a tremendous benefit to our customers because it will save them time, money and help them closely represent, connect and engage with their audience."
